Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 715
Du Jinning did not go to the yamen, and followed Yao Shuqi directly to the newly bought house.

The housing prices here are very different from those in Beijing, but Yao Shuqi knows that his family has a small population, so the area of ​​the newly bought house is similar to that in Beijing, and even the size of the house and the openness are very similar, making Chen and Du Jinning feel very friendly.

According to the living habits of the Chen family and Du Jinning, Yao Shuqi had already cleaned up the main courtyard and the courtyard where Du Jinning lived, and bought new furniture.

What satisfied Du Jinning the most and made the guards who followed him collapse was that before Yao Shuqi came, Du Jinning ordered her to cut down all the trees near her yard, not only the big trees, but even the denser shrubs. No.

The yard where she lives now is surrounded by a very wide pond on three sides, and the remaining side is a bare rice field that has not been transplanted.Seven or eight climbing vine roses transported from the capital had been planted on the fence of the courtyard at some point.These roses are currently pruned, but the rhizomes are thick.One can imagine how well Du Jinning's yard will be protected by these thorny plants when they jump up and climb up the fence.

Seeing this, the two imperial guards were stupefied.

How can they protect Du Jinning?

The emperor once gave them an order to only protect and not peep, so as not to arouse Du Jinning's resentment.So they dare not stay on Du Jinning's roof.Instead of staying on the roof, there is no place for them to stay or hide within a radius of ten feet.

"What should I do?" Yu Weiyi asked his companion.

Yu Weijia thought for a while, and said helplessly, "I'll go discuss it with Mr. Du."

Originally, they were secret guards, protecting people in secret.I usually don't show up in front of people.Only when the protected person is in danger, they will come out to frighten them.But they didn't want to be forced to show their true colors by Du Jinning drinking Xingzang last time.

They had protected or monitored many people under the emperor's order, and this was the first time they encountered such an embarrassing thing.

Yuweijia jumped off the big tree and walked towards Du Jinning's courtyard - this big tree was very far away from Du Jinning's courtyard, and he needed to cross a very long winding wooden bridge, or walk through a very long winding road. Du Jinning's yard can only be reached by winding the Tiangeng road.

Because of the wide field of vision, Yu Weijia hadn't taken a few steps before someone spotted his whereabouts and reported the news to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning was watching the servants put away their luggage. When she heard this, she stepped out and took a look at the distance, then she laughed and turned her head to praise Yao Shuqi: "It's a good job."

Yao Shuqi was so proud that he even raised his beard.

Knowing that someone was protecting (monitoring) his young master, he chose this house instead of buying other better ones, and even ordered some trees that were tens or hundreds of years old to be cut down.Now it seems that his thoughts were not in vain.

Seeing that Du Jinning seemed to have discovered himself early, Yu Weijia was full of frustration, so when he walked in front of Du Jinning, his face was a little ugly.

"Lord Du, the emperor sent me to protect you. There is no place for us to live in your current residence. If something happens, we can't explain it to the emperor. So please live in another place." He said With a straight face, his tone of voice was full of commands.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to protect me, not imprison me?" Du Jinning's expression was calm.

Although Zhao He had good intentions, and with the protection of these two guards, her safety would be more assured, but this did not mean that these two could be her own masters and give orders to her.

To put it bluntly, since these two people have received the emperor's order, even if she speaks ill to them, they still have to pinch their noses and protect her desperately.

She is not used to these people.According to the bad nature of people, she is obedient today, maybe the two people will dictate and order her to act according to their will.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Yu Weijia's expression became a little embarrassed.

"Uh, Mrs. Du was joking, the emperor naturally asked us to protect you, not to imprison you." He was flexible, and when Du Jinning's attitude was a little tough, he softened, bowed his hands and saluted, and his attitude became respectful.

Du Jinning's expression softened a little.

She said: "Whether you live in the trees or hide at the base of the wall, you all live in the wind and the open. It's too hard. I chose this courtyard to live in, but it's also for your own good. When I'm in the mansion, as long as I guard the bridge, I will There will be no danger. So you don’t need to be too nervous. I asked the housekeeper to draw up a yard for you to live in. You usually take turns watching the bridge. My nursing home is watching over the rice fields. If I go out of the house , how about you follow secretly?"

Yuweijia was surprised.

"You chose this courtyard to live in because of us?" He asked emotionally.

In their line of work, it is really hard work when they are on missions.But no one has ever sympathized with them.

Of course, few of those people are as aware of their existence as Du Jinning.Even if you know it, you pretend not to know it.Like Du Jinning, who pulled them out of the dark in a fair manner, and used them, the hidden guards of the palace, as guards, he was still a scorpion shit-the only one.

"Part of the reason." Du Jinning said.

The biggest reason is naturally to prevent these people from knowing her secret.

Asking Yao Shuqi to arrange the two guards, Du Jinning's mood became very good.She washed her hair, took a shower, and rested after supper.

After riding the horse for a long time, and bumping on the carriage for more than an hour at noon, even though she was young and in good health, she couldn't stand it.

Woke up the next day, punched and had breakfast as usual, Yao Shuqi came over and asked, "Master, do you want to go to the yamen?"

Du Jinning stroked his chin and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Go for a walk."

If she didn't go to the yamen, it was her fault, she would say that she didn't take her boss seriously; but if she went to the yamen and was treated coldly, then it was Cao Zhizhou and others who were at fault.

In other words, the imperial guards sent by the emperor should also be responsible for delivering news to the emperor, right?
Putting on his official uniform, Du Jinning got into the carriage and went straight to the state office.

The yamen are full of iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers. In order to show integrity, no official will spend money on renovating the yamen in his own office. Generally, the yamen are very dilapidated, and the state government in Runzhou is no exception.

When Du Jinning got there, it was almost midnight.

The yamen guard at the gate saw a young man who was dressed in the sixth-rank Buzi official dynasty get off the carriage, and he knew that it was the new Master Tongzhi.

He came forward and cupped his hands, and asked indifferently: "My lord, who are you looking for?"

"I'm Du Jinning, the new co-prefect. Is Master Zhizhou here? Take me to meet him." Du Jinning's attitude was also indifferent.

"Oh?" The yamen servant looked at Du Jinning a few times, and said with a smile, "Master Du is quite young."

Du Jinning just stared at him without speaking.
